Jonathan, Fayose and Mu'azu when the going was good during one of the campaigns |
With the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) still counting its
loses after losing the March 28 general elections to the opposition, All
Progressive Congress, APC, the blame
game has continued as Ekiti State Governor has insisted that his call for the
dissolution of the Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu-led National Working Committee (NWC) of
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was in good faith.
Fayose, whom the party had blamed for causing the PDP the
presidential seat over his hate campaign approach, said the Party’s Chairman,
Mu’azu should resign as he has no apology on his position because their
responsibility as a party does not take away their failure in the last general
elections.
The governor, who also challenged the NWC to provide
evidence of money released to him to prosecute the last elections, added that
“only N30 million was received for the last two elections and to the glory of
the Almighty God and support of Ekiti people, we won all elections outrightly.
I therefore demand for the mode with which money was released to me by the
NWC.”
In a release issued in Ado-Ekiti on Tuesday, by his Special
Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Governor Fayose reiterated
his commitment to the PDP, pointing out that if it remained only him in the
party, he would continue to defend its course.
“If it remains only me, I will continue to defend the course
of this party because some people are born to stand up at difficult times, and
I believe I am one such people born to stand up for the PDP at this difficult
time,” he said.
Reiterating his call for the dissolution of the NWC,
Governor Fayose said; “In saner climes, when a war commander leads his troupe
to an embarrassing defeat, such commander does not need anyone to tell him that
he needs to leave the war front for another commander to take over.”
While describing the attack on his person by the NWC as
unfortunate, the governor said it was sad that the NWC members, especially the
National Chairman were refusing to allow new people to manage the party after
managing it into its first national electoral failure.
“How do we explain the PDP losing so scandalously in Bauchi
State, despite the presence of the National Chairman, Federal Capital Territory
Minister and the State governor?
“I am even more particular about the National Chairman
because he sold the party to the opposition. I have cogent evidences of his
unholy alliance with the opposition before the elections and if they go any
further, I will expose all his underhand deals.
“I want to say it again that I have no apology for calling
for the resignation of the NWC members, especially the National Chairman. After
all, someone resigned his position as the National Chairman for Alhaji Mu’azu
to assume office.
“Lastly, let me say it categorically that they can only
attempt to destroy this party for the moment, not forever. Sooner or later,
they will all fade away and PDP will rise again,” the governor said.
